Fisheries and the MSC

MSC certification is a way of showing that a fishery meets international best practice for environmentally sustainable fishing. Fish and seafood from certified fisheries can carry the MSC blue fish label, assuring customers that what they’re buying comes from an environmentally sustainable fishery.
